Question

A slide 4.1 meters long makes an angle of 35° with the ground. To the nearest tenth of a meter, how far above the ground is the top of the slide?

Answer 1

The distance between the ground and the top of the slide is 2.4 meters.

Given:

The length of the slide is 4.1 meters.

The angle between slide and ground is 35 degrees.
